| Reverse description | Asclepius, the god of medicine, depicted standing facing with head turned to the left, his weight resting upon a serpent-entwined staff (the kerykeion of Asclepius) held in his right hand. The figure is rendered in a static, hieratic style characteristic of provincial Ionian bronze coinage. The ethnic legend ΠΡΙΗΝΕΩΝ occupies the field, identifying the issuing city of Priene. The composition is typical of civic bronze issues celebrating the healing deity venerated in the region. |
